Lima: The pair of ‘alien mummies,’ which mysteriously turned up at the airport in Peru’s Lima, and made headlines worldwide, have nothing alien about them and originate entirely on Earth, revealed scientists on Friday. During a press conference in Lima, experts described the two mysterious specimens as humanoid dolls crafted from both human and animal parts. They also analyzed a separate hand with only three fingers, believed to be from Peru’s Nazca region. Experts unequivocally ruled out any connection of these objects with alien life. . “They’re not extraterrestrials. They’re dolls made from animal bones from this planet joined together with modern synthetic glue,” said Peru’s Institute for Legal Medicine and Forensic Sciences archeologist Flavio Estrada.
“It’s totally a made-up story,” Estrada added.
Experts state that examinations revealed that the bones of birds, dogs and other animals were used to create the ‘bodies’, their “very poorly” built hands were created with human bones. However, it is not known that who owns the freakish figures. Experts stated that these dolls were sent to a Mexican citizen before they were seized by South American customs agents.
Notably, a carboard box turned up at the airport office of DHL in Lima. In the cardboard box two ‘bodies’ were found dressed in traditional Andean attire. Some media outlets speculated about possible alien origin.
In September last year, the two mummified bodies that were featured at a Mexican congressional hearing, gathered massive media attention and made headlines worldwide. At that time, Mexican journalist and UFO enthusiast Jaime Maussan gained massive media attention for claiming that the bodies were approx. 1,000 years old and had been recovered from Peru in 2017.
“This is the first time it (extraterrestrial life) is presented in such a form and I think there is a clear demonstration that we are dealing with non-human specimens that are not related to any other species in our world,” he said in September.
However, experts later rubbished the claims, stating possibly mutilated ancient human mummies combined with animal parts.
Yesterday’s press conference was organized by Peru’s culture ministry in which experts did not stated that the dolls found at the airport were related to the bodies presented in Mexico, highlighting that the remains in Mexico are also not extraterrestrial.
Now, when the mystery of the ‘alien bodies’ has been solved, it is still under investigation that how they were transported to Mexico after being seized in Peru.
